Andrew Allen (born 6 May 1981) is a Canadian singer-songwriter from Vernon, British Columbia.[2] He is signed to Epic Records[3] and has written and recorded a fair amount of songs, including "Where Did We Go?" with Carly Rae Jepsen.[4] He also records covers and posts them on YouTube.
Andrew Allen scored his first hit in 2009, when “I Wanna Be Your Christmas” cracked the Top Ten in his native Canada. Although raised in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, his music evoked memories of a warmer place, with artists like Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson serving as touchstones for his acoustic pop/rock. Allen continued building an international profile in 2010, eventually signing a contract with Epic after spending much of the year on the road.[5]
He was the feature performer for the Sochi 2014 hand off finale on the internationally broadcast Closing Ceremony of the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games held at Whistler, British Columbia.
In 2011, his single "Loving You Tonight" was featured on the soundtrack of Abduction starring Taylor Lautner.
